Trial reportPostgraduate medical journal1987
The BMRES 1984 Medical Research Expedition to the Himalayas.
Trial report in Postgraduate medical journal, 1987. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Twenty-one subjects formed a trekking expedition to study the effects of acetazolamide on exercise performance and acclimatization at high altitude. Subjects were randomized to acetazolamide or placebo on a double blind basis. During ascent to and stay for 6 nights at 4846 m studies were carried out on blood gases, 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3 DPG), proteinuria, exercise testing, intestinal absorption, purine metabolism and changes in body composition. The results showed beneficial effects of acetazolamide on exercise performance and preservation of muscle mass.
